    Animacy semantic network supports causal inferences about illness

    Miriam Hauptman, Marina Bedny
    Making causal inferences about illness, compared to making causal inferences about mechanical breakdown and reading causally unconnected sentences, activates a semantic brain network implicated in the conceptual representation of animate entities (e.g. people, animals).

    Modulation of aperiodic EEG activity provides sensitive index of cognitive state changes during working memory task

    Tisa Frelih, Andraž Matkovič ... Grega Repovš
    A novel analysis reveals distinct periodic and aperiodic EEG activity during working memory, challenging oscillatory-centric views while establishing aperiodic activity as a more sensitive marker of cognitive state.

    Anti-diuretic hormone ITP signals via a guanylate cyclase receptor to modulate systemic homeostasis in Drosophila

    Jayati Gera, Marishia Agard ... Meet Zandawala
    A multi-pronged approach reveals that ion transport peptide neuropeptide acts through the guanylate cyclase receptor Gyc76C to coordinate osmotic and metabolic homeostasis across multiple tissues in Drosophila.
